Hello, the last week I experimented a bit with the regression test I wrote and reduced the size of the generated data because this was the reason why I haven't committed the reference data to p4 yet. Also, I've changed to using library instead of statically linking everything. Th iconv stuff will be part of libc, so this layout seems more real. Some problems have come out which I'm still working on. Good news is that probably I can keep working on this project as a BSc thesis, which will allow me to dedicate more time and go into deep details, review performance, etc. Some words to resume the progress. Almost all encodings, which are used in our locales are supported. I've also added some extras. There's a bug in Big5 module, which makes it segfault. There are two (iirc) missing encodings from the CP family. The foward encoding (to UTF-32) is of the same quality as GNU iconv and GNU libc-icov but the reverse encoding sometimes less punctual, there isn't such a good level of transliteration. I'll need to look into it in detail. Cheers, Gábor
